Paddy the Muskrat drives a bright yellow wheelchair with green racing stripes. He’s in the second grade and is struggling with a bully named Luke the Skunk. Luke is forming a recess club and won’t let Paddy and his new friend Austin the Rabbit join, simply because they’re not skunks. Luke is secretly jealous of Paddy and Austin’s newfound friendship. The skunk struggles to form a relationship with Paddy, but is not sure what to think about his wheelchair or his disability of having cerebral palsy. Luke learns the hard way that being bossy and excluding others doesn’t help you keep friends. And, he learns that Paddy can be a great friend when given the chance. Paddy’s Recess Adventures at Hilltop School is the second book in the series and the sequel to Paddy’s First Day at Hilltop School. Says the author, “I feel like everyone can learn from Paddy and his adventures, with being in a wheelchair and having a disability. Having a disability myself, I always want to encourage others to reach for their dreams.”

Here is the shocking true saga of the Irish American mob. In Paddy Whacked, bestselling author and organized crime expert T. J. English brings to life nearly two centuries of Irish American gangsterism, which spawned such unforgettable characters as Mike "King Mike" McDonald, Chicago's subterranean godfather; Big Bill Dwyer, New York's most notorious rumrunner during Prohibition; Mickey Featherstone, troubled Vietnam vet turned Westies gang leader; and James "Whitey" Bulger, the ruthless and untouchable Southie legend. Stretching from the earliest New York and New Orleans street wars through decades of bootlegging scams, union strikes, gang wars, and FBI investigations, Paddy Whacked is a riveting tour de force that restores the Irish American gangster to his rightful preeminent place in our criminal history -- and penetrates to the heart of the American experience.
